🕯 WIP Wednesday 🕯

Happy Wednesday! I've made some great progress on Pirates and Poise, my romance of manners erotica between a transmasc pirate and a nonbinary imperial consort. I'm trying to finish this in time for the Talk Like a Queer Pirate Day bundle in September.

Here, Captain Topaz Bandrake meets the disgraced Imperial Consort, Davi Madeira for the first time:

“Your Majesty?” Topaz dares to speak above a whisper as he steps inside. His boots kick up dust with each step and he grimaces. There are a few spots on the floor where Topaz sees larger footprints, wearing fashionable shoes, pacing up and down through the dust. Picking up one of the lanterns, Topaz makes his way slowly through the Gardenia Wing with his stomach in his throat. “Your Majesty?” His voice echoes and hearing no response makes his mouth go dry.   A creaking door from his right hand side brings Topaz’s shoulders together in the middle of his back, one hand swinging the lantern while the other reaches for the dagger in his boot. He’s not sure what he’s expecting—an armed assailant, a hapless servant, a curious noble—but it is not Their Majesty, Imperial Consort Davi Jacinto Madeira, peeking behind the frame of their bedroom door. Topaz’s mouth opens and closes mutely, his throat working to form sentences but only producing a whoosh of air.

If you crave hurt/comfort, this book is for you.

Fiorenzo is a fantasy-of-manners romance featuring swordplay, revenge, and a happily-ever-after.

Fiore has a plan. Find a wealthy elderly gentleman, delight him until the end of his days, and retire on the resulting inheritance. It’s the best outcome a low-born courtesan in the city of Halcyon can hope for.

And it seems a perfect scheme… until a mysterious masked man upends it.

Banished from university after a disastrous duel, Enzo wanders the city searching for scraps of the affection he’s lost. His public mask conceals private agonies. A single night in the company of a courtesan, however, balms his wounded heart, and he finds himself returning again and again to Fiore, revealing more of himself than he’s ever dared before.

Furthermore, and more astonishing still, Fiore finds he returns Enzo’s affections.

But while Fiore wears no mask, he nonetheless has secrets of his own. And when the ghosts of their pasts return to haunt them, only the bond of trust between them will carry them through.
